Beautiful

Started while driving from Des Moines to Omaha on 16 February 2011, continued on flights from Columbus to Chicago and Chicago to Austin on 18 February 2011, finally finished off in Paige on 20 Feb.  Ooops. Nope, not done yet.  Okay, finished, at least for now, at home 22 Feb.

I was pretty excited about this song when I started it, but I just haven’t been able to pull it together the way I wanted to.  Fought hard with the lyrics, still don’t like them.  And it didn’t come out the way I wanted it to musically, either.  But I need to take a break from this so I can finish FAWM a winner!

I can’t stop thinking of the way you solved the riddle
All the sins that I was stained with, now you’ve washed me clean
What I had put asunder, could not be joined together
You found a way that you could make it whole again

I can’t stop thinking of the way you gave forgiveness
You took three nails on a cross, You wore a crown of thorns
You suffered, died and then, you rose to life again
You conquored death for me and all who live in you

And You are beautiful
You made me beautiful
Everything’s beautiful in You
You are beautiful
You made me beautiful
Everything’s beautiful in You

I can’t stop thinking of the the way you filled my spirit
Like a fire you breathed into me, and set my heart aflame
I want to live my life in you, the way you made me to
Cause if the Son has set me free, then I am free indeed

I can’t stop thinking of the way you solved the riddle
How the death that I was cursed with you took off of me
If I keep my life I’m loosing, if I give it then I’m choosing
To spend it with you joyful in eternity

And You are beautiful
You made me beautiful
Everything’s beautiful in You
You are beautiful
You made me beautiful
Everything’s beautiful in You

And You are beautiful
You made me beautiful
Everything’s beautiful in You
You are beautiful
You made me beautiful
Everything’s beautiful in You
